Today is kinda sad to me - it's my last duty as a GDT at Flutter By Wednesday's... (sniff, sniff...) I've had such a great time designing for my favorite challenge blog, and I'll sure miss being on your team, ladies!! A special thanks to the fantastic talented and attentive owner, Danni! Thanks for giving me this great oppotunity! I've had such a fantastic month! And thank you all you ladies on the team, you're all great artists and I'm honored to been working with you!!!

I've been having some crazy weeks with LOTS of work and trying to catch up things at home too, so I've been having trouble finding time to leave messages to all the participants in the challenges - I'm really REALLY sorry 'bout that!! :(Okay... enough of the sad things ;)Today it's challenge time at Flutter By Wednesday's again!! And the theme is one of my absolutely favorites: SHIMMER, SPARKLE AND GLITTERING !

Aloha!Welcome to my blog and to this week's challenge at Flutter By Wednesday's !! ;)For THIS WEEK ONLY Danni has decided that you can enter the challenge with ANYTHING with wings! ;) I do love butterflies, angels and fairies so I had some trouble using anything else... Ha ha! But then I found a fantastic image from Meljens Design, and I just HAD to color it up - and it's so cute! I guess that those of you who knows me and my style, will take notice of the clean and simple style - not many details added to this card. But I got so inspired of the CAS cards around lately and wanted to try it myself ;)

Others: All chipboards from Notabene. So are the ribbons on the boy card. Sheer ribbons are bought at Madeira og my mother, pink flowered ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons (I won them in the RRR August Blog Hop from the really talented Chupa) Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint from Ranger. Flower punch from Panduro Hobby. Teddybear- and buggypuncher.

Okey, that's all I had for now. I've had some busy days - it's a puzzle to combine being a mother to 3 little kids, involved in lots of activities and juggle between a half time job and 2-3 other jobs at school/kindergarden/farming. But it's only for a period - I hope ;)

Hello there!And welcome to another week at Danni's Flutter By Wednesdays Challenge! This week's challenge is sponsored by the fantastic Woodware USA, and I've been so lucky to get to work with some of their fantastic stamps! Woodware USA was totally new to me - but I loved their stamps right away!! You should take a look in their webshop!! Along with a fairy, butterfly or angel, this week Danni wants you to use BUTTONS on your creation. And I love using buttons on my projects, so this challenge was great to me ;) But I had some trouble figuring out how to use the fantastic stamps in my project - I had so many ideas when I got the images!! But in the end I decided to make a creation where the images would be the focal point - and I also got to make something else than the usual square cards that I make so often ;)So I decided to make some tag cards! ;)

Hi there!My second week as a GDT at Flutter By Wednesdays are here! Yesterday my youngest son turned two, and we were having a little celebration after we all came home from work, school and kindergarden ;) He's proud to be a "big boy"!! This week Danni wants to see you create something with bunches of her favorite color - P I N K !!! And off course you have to add a butterfly, fairy or angel :) You may read more about the challenge at the Flutter By Wednesdays Blog. This week the DTgirlies have been so lucky to recieve their own stamps from the kind and generous Susana at Susana's Custom Arts and Cards Design (SCACD). On behalf of the girls I want to send lots of warm thoughts for her generousity!When I should make a card with LOTS of pink, I thought I could try to make a monochromatic card... That would give a real pinky card!! ;) My card goes to the following challenges:

A closer look at the beautiful stamp "Angel Eyes - Princess" from Kreativ Hobby. I've altered some wings from my daughter's toys - some wings had fell off her Thinkerbell doll, and couldn't be fixed. And off course I just HAD to put it into my "box of potential embellishment" *lol* I think it worked out good :)

As always, I couldn't wait for the glue to dry before I took the pictures...

One of my homemade roses - distressed and added some glitters

The inside

I machinesewed around every sticker on the inside - and it took a while... *lol*

Now, head over a the FBW blog to see what the DT girls have made for this challenge, and maybe you'll get inspired to make your own creation for this challenge ;)Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I'll be happy if you leave me a comment... And you're welcome to enter My Blog Candy :)Wishing you a fantastic Wednesday!

Hello to all of you !First: Have you entered my candy??? You can read more about it here....For once I'm a little early with some of my Christmas preparations... I've been thinking of making a new advent calender for my kids for some years now - and finally I got the right motivation for doing it!! So... I'm a little early, right!? *lol*I made the calendar by using 24 matchboxes. Since I'm a mother to three children, my plan is to hide a secret message into the numbered boxes. They will get a little wrapped gift that they have to search for in the house, or they will get an activity (like a day at the swimminghall, baking gingerbreads, making christmas decorations or stuff like that...) I think they will love their new calendar ;)If you want to make this kind of calendar for your kids, you can find a tutorial here...The calendar goes to the following challenges:
